Where should in this query be space for the domain information of the 
corresponding DNSWL ID? A *complete* query and answer looks for example like

testuser:~ > host 5.3.1.44.list.dnswl.org
5.3.1.44.list.dnswl.org has address 127.0.10.0

And based on this information (127.0.10.0) a scoring can be done by e.g. 
spamassassin.
